MonteverdeUSA Ritma Fountain Pen in Turquoise – Medium Nib, Balanced JoWo Stainless Steel, Refillable Ink Cartridge/Converter – Perfect for Professionals & Writing Enthusiasts

Great pen that writes well. I love the magnetic cap closure and posting. Vibrant color. Feels heavy in the hand and grip section is smooth metal so my fingers slide on it a bit. It writes great so it’s one I use often. Great value in fountain pen.

I had been collecting fountain pens for more than 30 years and this Ritma It's one of the best I've ever had. The dimensions, the weight, the color, everything is very well designed and the most satisfactory thing is the magnetic cap, strong magnet force but smooth when closing.The flex nib is another story, arrived wide open and it didn't write. after some tunig it write but no as should. I had the idea of ​​returning it but the purple color I chose was no longer available to buy it again with a different nib.My solution was to buy another nib from Monteverde a <B> because the flex nib at this price level are not very reliable.Having said that, now with the new nib i`m very happy with my Monteverde Purple Ritma B nib fountain pen.

Very nice pen at this price point. Like the magnetic cap. It is different for sure and like the posting. The pen is heavier than expected and since it's all metal it makes sense. The nib is very smooth and provides a lovely writing experience. The only con I have is you have to push the piston down in the converter to keep the ink flowing. It's a nit annoying and why 4 stars and not 5.

It's a gorgeous pen, the purple looks amazing and the clip is great. The magnetic closure is VERY satisfying. I didn't have problems with it drying out, etc. It writes very well, not quite as scratchy as a Lamy Safari, but not super glassy smooth. For me, it was just the right amount of feedback.The grip is about the right size for me, and I found the size of it comfortable to hold.BUT (and this ended up being a deal breaker for me) the grip is VERY slippery, so it is just... unusable.I want to love this pen so much, but it just sits in my pen case until I can figure out a safe way to add texture to the grip :'(

I was looking for a durable pen for EDC purposes. I did a lot of research and I came upon this beauty. It is truly all metal construction, with the exception of the feed, feed section, and converter for obvious reasons. Only problem I had with it is the converter seems loose. They didn't leave much of a stub out to have it go far enough into the converter. I fixed that with a spring that fit perfectly on the top of the converter, so when I screw it into the barrel, it puts positive pressure on the converter to seat it in. I got the spring from a box of springs I bought at my local hardware store for other projects. Other than that, it's one excellent pen. I got it in a medium nib, and the nib is perfect. From what I can tell, it is a Jowo #6 nib. I was going to swap nibs, but this one works perfect out of the box. To be quite honest, for the price, Monteverde hit home on this pen in terms of a durable product, especially the magnetic cap. Generally speaking, the first thing that breaks on pens are the caps. I've got a few Jinhao pens that are useless because the cap is broke, and no matter how I try to fix them, they just are not the same, rendering the pen useless. I am likely going to buy another one of these just keep and not use. Especially for the price. When I first pulled it out of the box, I was like, "I don't want to use this as an EDC, it's too pretty!"... but for the price, like I said, I'll buy another just to keep. Very happy with the pen, and most importantly it's solid construction!

This pen writes very smooth but it is just too heavy for me.

One of the best fountain pens I own at such a good price. It writes very smoothly with Monteverde's own ink. The pen feels well constructed and with a great weight.

The price on this was unbelievable for the quality - $15 when I bought it. That's less than a replacement nib. Pen has a nice weight to it and the color is beautiful. The magnetic cap is very convenient. I've become a Monteverde fan.
